Over time, much of the content on this site will be migrated to the

About Metadata Services

Our metadata philosophy is simple: capture metadata at the most robust level possible, in formats appropriate for the materials, and create views of that metadata for specific uses of the materials. We're committed to the creation of high-quality metadata that can be leveraged to provide high-quality services. We believe that this goal can be achieved only through metadata experts working closely with content experts to understand the nature and use of collections.

Metadata Activities at DLP

The DLP applies various metadata standards to specific projects. As we implement these projects we develop documentation
to help our partners and the general public understand and apply the standards on their own. The following links lead to additional
information and documentation about using these standards. (This list will continue to grow over time.)
